Description

CAS: 4278-43-7 | C8H18O2Zn | 211.61 g/mol

A sol-gel process has been developed for the chemical synthesis of ZnS at room temperature using zinc tert-butoxide and H 2 S as precursors in a toluene solution. The key step that enables this zinc-mediated epoxidation to be catalytic may be the equilibrium between zinc peroxide (R)-15 and zinc tert-butoxide (R)-16 in the presence of t-BuOOH. An additional important feature that renders the dual catalytic cycles feasible is the poor reactivity of zinc tert-butoxide toward the iridium-bound cationic intermediate, whereby the requisite deprotonation process is effectively mediated by zinc tert-butoxide.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
